Valuation Postponement for Price Source Disruption:    Valuation Postponement” means, for purposes of obtaining a Settlement Rate, that the Spot Rate will be determined on the Business Day first succeeding the day on which the Price Source Disruption ceases to exist, unless the Price Source Disruption continues to exist (measured from the date that, but for the occurrence of the Price Source Disruption, would have been the Valuation Date) for a consecutive number of calendar days equal to the Maximum Days of Postponement.

B. Partial Early Termination

 

  (a) Unless (i) an Event of Default under the Agreement as amended by this Confirmation has occurred in respect of Party B or (ii) Party A has designated an Early Termination Date, Party B may, at its option, terminate a portion (a “Partially Terminated Transaction”) of the Transaction (each, a “Partial Early Termination”) by written notice to Party A.

 

  (b) After giving effect to any Partial Early Termination, the Calculation Agent shall reduce all subsequent amortizations of the Notional Amounts shown in Annex A on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining Notional Amounts) and shall also reduce the Amortization Amounts shown in Annex B consistently with that reduction of the Notional Amounts, to reflect such reduction in the Notional Amounts, and shall distribute a new Annex A and a new Annex B as so revised to Party A and Party B.

 

  (c)

For purposes of the Agreement and the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, the effect of a Partial Early Termination shall be as follows: the Transaction shall be deemed and treated for all purposes to have been divided into two separate Transactions, as if the parties, instead of initially entering into the Transaction, had instead entered into two separate Transactions; the terms of each of such two deemed Transactions shall be identical to the Transaction, except for the Notional Amounts and the Amortization Amounts thereof, and such two deemed Transactions shall have new Notional Amounts, which, when taken together, shall result in the same Notional Amounts as the Notional Amounts of the Transaction immediately prior to the Partial Early Termination, and new Amortization Amounts, which, when taken together, shall result in the same Amortization Amounts as the Amortization Amounts of the Transaction immediately prior to the Partial Early

 

8


 

Termination; and one of which deemed Transactions (the “Terminated Portion”) shall have the Notional Amounts and the Amortization Amounts corresponding to the reduction designated for such Partially Terminated Transaction in the notice of Partial Early Termination issued by Party B pursuant to Paragraph 1(B)(a). The Terminated Portion shall be deemed to have terminated on the Local Business Day specified by Party B which date so designated by Party B shall not be a day earlier than the day such notice is effective (such date being referred to herein as the “Partial Early Termination Date”), with the same effect as though a Termination Event had occurred hereunder with the Affected Party being Party B for purposes of determining payments upon early termination, with the Early Termination Date being the Partial Early Termination Date, and with such Terminated Portion being treated for this purpose only as an Affected Transaction. The obligations of each party to make payments pursuant to the Agreement to the other party with respect to the Terminated Portions that would, but for such Partial Early Termination Date, occur after such Partial Early Termination Date, will terminate after the Partial Early Termination Date. Partial Early Termination shall not, however, constitute a Termination Event under the Agreement with respect to the non-terminated portion of Partially Terminated Transactions, and the occurrence of a Partial Early Termination shall have no effect on the non-terminated portions of Partially Terminated Transactions or on Transactions other than Partially Terminated Transactions, all of which shall continue in full force and effect without regard to any such Partial Early Termination.

C. Documents to be delivered:

Each party shall deliver to the other, at the time of its execution of this Confirmation, evidence of the corporate authority, specimen signature and incumbency of each person who is executing the Confirmation on the party’s behalf, unless such evidence has previously been supplied and remains true and in effect.
